passing as a child, taking it like a man

I had my first passing-and-trying-to-use-my-ID experience the other day. I was buying cigarettes at the Quick Stop by my house. I asked for a pack, and the guy gave me the most skeptical look in the world, and said, "Uh...can I see some ID?" I handed it to him, and he stared at it for about two minutes, then scanned it twice. Then he gave me kind of sheepish look and sold me the cigarettes. I just worry about this happening at bars. "Excuse me son, did you really think you could get away with stealing your butch sister's ID?" Oh well.

I think I did a pretty good job of getting through my low-testosterone slump. Sure, I bought what Mo would describe as a "pity burrito", but no other wild purchases and very few morbid thoughts. As I mentioned, it's hard to be sad with Thanksgiving coming up.

Also as mentioned, I'm going down to Arcata with the dude to visit some friends of his from home. I don't think I've ever been introduced as anyone's "boyfriend" before. Deliciously awesome on a number of levels.

When can you get a dude ID?

Yay for being a boyfriend and I'm glad you are documenting this process for voyeurs like me.

I can get a dude ID when my boobs go, which will hopefully be within the year, depending on how thoroughly student loans pillage my savings. Pretty soon I think I might add a paypal button to this piece of shit so voyeurs like yourself can throw a few bucks toward the cause.

You should do it. I'd happily donate to the cause.
